Appearance and Personality
Lord Eric Merryweather is fair-skinned, slender, and tall. He wore purple and yellow striped fine silks, a crumpled hat with a feather in it, and fancy leather boots.

Prequel
Lord Eric Merryweather is introduced in Prequel: The Green Skin of Treachery, Part 1 as a missing person who the Dames try to find. Lyta Rollings relays to the Dames that he entered the Crooked Forest without the appropriate attire or gear to go monster hunting.

He is found teetering on a rock outside a goblin cave in the Crooked Forest. Lord Merryweather is ill-equipped to defend himself and claims he was merely here to observe the goblins. The Dames help him retrieve his pack and escort him back to Phandalin. As an added thanks, he gives each of the Dames a gift.
